Not just London, happening all over the country including Tottenham and Walthamstow which are...erm...nowhere near London...right.
I am loath to bring race into this as well, I am all for diversity and inclusive immigration but as I was reading more and more articles this year about shootings and stabbings what struck me was that only one or two of the names were traditionally British...only one or two of the faces were white...the BBC has written a piece on the victims so far this year, take a look at the ethnic demographics and then try and tell me race isn't a factor in what's happening.
Regardless of the motivations behind this I think we can all agree that things are slowly spiralling out of control and drastic action needs to be taken to wipe out this organised level of violent/drug related crime. Pulling 890 of those 900 officers dedicated to investigating hate crime would be a good start.
